Team Talk-2My suggestions for general pre-match team talks are as follows:
1- Home and you are heavily favoured by prematch odds, and when morale is above average: "I expect a win."
Likely outcome: one or two players 'Gained focus'; or no effect according to feedback screen, but your team performs well in the 1/2 half anyway.
2 -Home and odds are close or you are slightly favoured: "You can win this game!"
Likely outcome: a few players "looked delighted", somtimes "seemed motivated". "looked delighted"".
3- Home and your opponent is heavily favoured: "Wish Luck!"
Likely outcome: a few players "looked delighted", somtimes "seemed motivated".
4- Home and your opponent is your rival: "For the fans!"
Likely outcome: no effect based on feedback, but this always guarantess me an excellent 1/2 performance by my team.
5- Away and you are heavily favoured: "You can win this game!"
6- Away and odds are close: Either "You can win this game!" or "Wish luck."
7- Away and your opponent is favoured: "Wish luck."
8- Away and your opponent is heavily favoured: "Pressure is off!"
Likely outcome: a few players are "more relaxed".
If your are playing the World Cup or other continental cups, then the Home/away factor is taken away, simply base your pre-match team talks on odds and morale.
Half-time team talks:
This is the main part of this guide. I have turned hundreds of matches around using 1/2 time team talks, not counting the differences team talks have made between a draw and a win. Half-time team talks mainly need to take into account almost all factors: 1,2,3,4,5 and 7.
1- Home and you are winning by 1 goal margin:
General team talk: "Encourage". Likely result: a few players 'looked delighted', sometimes 'seemed motivated'.
Individual team talk:
"Disapointing" on players with rating 6, careful that this does not work on new signings or young players making his debut.
Likely result: "Fired-up" or "Inspired" or "Seemed motivated" or any of the above couple with "Angered". Sometimes no effect. Likely "Lost confidence" if used on new signings or young players.
"You have faith" on players with ratings 8+ and substitutes at 1/2 time, especially effective on strikers/AMs.
Likely results: "Inspired to a great performance", "Inspired to a better performance", "Morale boost", "Seemed motivated", "Happy" or "Looked delighted". Rarely no effect. Which result depends on player personality.
Works sometimes on strikers with rating 7 too and occassionally on youngsters with rating 6.
Correct use of 'disappointing' and 'you have faith' will 99% guarantee you a win by 90mins.
What if the player has a rating 5? Substitute him off, say 'disappointg' or 'angry' to him, and say 'you have faith' to the player coming on.
2- Home and you are winning by more than 1 goal margin:
General team talk: "Pleased" or "Thrilled" depending on the winning margin.
Likely result: No effect or 'does not seem to be listening' but it does help to avoid negative reactions by saying something else. Only for new signings or in the 1st couple of games you are in charge, you will get 'happy' 'seemed motivated' effects by these team talks.
